Well folks, the cat is more or less out of the bag.  Yes indeed, Jane (his
wife, intro piano...) has a bun in the oven, she's with child, rotund with
life, experiencing fetal expansion, making room in the womb, growing
gestationally gargantuan, bakin' a baby, makin' a nest, creatin' a clone, in a
family way, baby bulging, otherwise known as...  *Preggers!*

Everything is going well, Jane is over her morning, noon, and night sickness,
and we know it's gonna be a boy!  The due date is December 15th, so if the
thought of a little hybrid of us was freaking us out, it's offset by the very
exciting expected arrival of our Little Tax Break Baby!

The beautiful thing is that I got to see the boy on the sonogram and I was
able to scan in an animated GIF of him.  This is *very* exciting!

So now that we know it's a boy, here are some tentative names we've come up
with.  Feel free to email Jane or I with your preferences!

* Mortimer Gordon Warsaw (Morty Gordy for short!)
* Big Jimmy Egypt Warsaw
* Wasraw P. Warsaw (a palindrome, sorry Craig!)
* Poland Warsaw
* Five Six Aloisious Right Warsaw
* Maxibillion Warsaw (he's more than a million!)
* Biteme Ujerk Warsaw (pronounced "Bitt-a-mee Yerk" -with an umlaut!)
* Thurpa Jones Warsaw (a family name)
* Gus Wotidono Warsaw
* Ian Mitchell Evan Warsaw (I. Mitch E. Warsaw)
* Austin Boston Warsaw (how many kids are named after 3 cities!)
* YesItsSpelledLikeTheCity Dammit Warsaw (eliminates a common frustration)
* Mano Warsaw

More to come...

If you thought those were bad, here's what we came up with if it
was going to be a girl:

* Ivana Kissu Oliver Warsaw
* Ophelia Happiparts Warsaw
* Chreesa Jackson Warsaw
* Airfed Nadly Warsaw
* Regan Raygun Rogaine Riorden Rodgers Warsaw
* Thurpa Jones Warsaw
* LTTB QXMXA Warsaw (pronounced "Tina Candi")

Here's a `poem <myboymort.html>`_ that I wrote before the baby was born.  When
I wrote this he was 3 days late!
